Barnard AAUP Condemns New "Expectations for Community Conduct"
Barnard AAUP condemns in the strongest possible terms the new “Barnard College Expectations for Community Conduct” issued on September 11, 2024. Designed without community input, issued without warning, and as vast as they are vague–these “expectations” create a pretext for a dangerous infringement on freedom of expression and academic freedom. See the statement here.
See the new community expectations here, and the President's email announcing them here and here.
